What to know about aluminium roller shutters in East Sussex
Extruded aluminium laths are solid profiles that are stronger and more resistant to forced entry than roll-formed laths. Perforated aluminium laths are available for frontages where the display needs to stay visible. A lighter curtain puts less strain on the motor, springs and barrel, which helps the shutter last.
Roll-formed aluminium laths are two skins of aluminium with an insulating foam core, which keeps them light. Aluminium does not rust, so it suits coastal towns and exposed frontages.
Specification options
- Manual or electric operation
- No rust, suited to coastal and exposed sites
- Roll-formed foam-filled or extruded aluminium laths
- Lighter curtain for less wear on motors and springs
- Powder coated to a RAL colour
- Solid, perforated or vision laths

Covering East Sussex
We cover East Sussex from Brighton to Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove, with 8 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Questions about aluminium roller shutters in East Sussex
Do aluminium shutters corrode by the sea?
Aluminium does not rust like steel, and a powder-coated finish adds protection, which makes it a good choice for coastal frontages.
Will an aluminium shutter dent?
Foam-filled laths can dent under a heavy impact. Extruded aluminium resists denting far better, and damaged laths can be replaced individually.
What is the difference between roll-formed and extruded aluminium?
Roll-formed laths are two thin skins with a foam core, which is light and insulating. Extruded laths are solid profiles, which are heavier and much stronger.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
